The Range of Skills we cover:

The English curriculum for Primary school is focused on six key areas – Writing and Representing, Reading and Viewing, Listening and Viewing, Speaking Grammar and Vocabulary.

Each area demands multiple skills. Each skill is developed through deliberate facilitation via a systematic approach to bridge the learning gap a learner has.

The development of the neurological pathways in the brain that make the integration of sensory information possible, increases as children grow. Here in Ardent, we create opportunities to do activities that correspond with each stage of their individual development.

The English curriculum for Primary school is focused on six key areas – Writing, Reading and Viewing, Listening and Viewing, Speaking Grammar and Vocabulary. Instead of constantly using the traditional approaches of the practice papers and exam drills, Ardent uses Six Bricks and LEGO bricks to complement learners in their learning in order to develop their sensory and perceptual skills to master strategies in spelling, phonics, word recognition, to improve short term memory, as well as improving their Penmanship, reading, speaking and writing, impulse control, cognitive flexibility and critical thinking.

PSLE Intensive with Writing Writing is deemed as the pinnacle of all learning. Many children struggle with writing. Class activities include 3 stages. Stage 1: Model building (insert photo), sharing of their models, and listening others. This Build-&-Share promotes planning, organising of ideas, and listening to others stories. This pre-writing interaction enhances learner’s social, emotional and psychological development of making sense of themselves and their world. Stage 2: Process and write their first draft guided by Six BRICKS to break down the BEGINNING-MIDDLE-END components, to better organise the flow of their composition. Stage 3: Writers will edit their work with close awareness to their plot, developing characterisation using narrative techniques in organising their paragraphs.
